This painting portrays a haunting, dreamlike image of a horse enveloped in an ethereal landscape. The horse's face is detailed and expressive, set against a dark, starry sky, while its body seems to blend with the surrounding environment of glowing yellow orbs and abstract greenery. The title Day Mare suggests a surreal, perhaps unsettling vision, combining elements of daydreams and nightmares. The glowing orbs add a mystical and otherworldly feel, drawing the viewer into a liminal space between reality and imagination. Van Straten’s use of soft, muted tones and her characteristic abstract background enhance the enigmatic mood of the painting, evoking a sense of mystery and contemplation.
